Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by munchies: 3:48am On Dec 02, 2025
Please I want to ask. Is it safe practice to use 2.5mm cable for 2 620w panels on a solar generator??

Valto:
4pcs is better
Thank you Valto.
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by munchies: 8:01pm On Nov 05, 2025
Valto:
depends on your daytime usage. order 5 or 6pcs of jinko 525w panels from faouni , u are good to go ..
I appreciate. But will 3 pieces of jinko 585w be enough to charge it? Daytime load is between 500w to 900w.
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by munchies:
Felicity 3kva 24v inverter with 4000w, Max v is 500v
140ah 24v lithium battery
How many panels and what capacity is best to charge the battery? 590w panel isn't available.

Your inverter may not do more than 60A

Also you really don't have to charge your batteries at the maximum recommended current for it to be ok.

Slow charge from grid may be as a result of different factors such as poor input voltage, bad frequency etc. What is the grid charging current?
Ok. It's not really high, ranges between 192v - 198v.
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by munchies: 8:01am On Jun 05, 2025
A battery that says max charge at 100a, does it mean I have to set 100a on the inverter? It's currently at 60a on the inverter settings. I use a Felicity 3kva and 3.5kw lithium. Bulk and float charge is set already at 28v.
It charges slowly from grid
Please help
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by munchies: 7:57am On Mar 19, 2025
For a load that's 900w and it will run for 6 hours, and solar panel and nepa will be charging it what is the best system design?

No try am. If not, that'll be your first point of failure. Get an MC4 connector and attach to the solar cable instead.
Lol. Thank you for this. I appreciate.

dollarnaira:
Only if you can get a durable mc4 bc we have more fake than originals. If at all u got one, a firm connection btw cable and mc4 should not be compromised. There are 6mm and 10mm mc4 choose well.

The other way is crude but works well as the most important is - firm connection and good insulation.

By the way linnov sells graded mc4. grin
Meaning the wire can be fixed and tightened easily into a mc4 connector and I should get a female and male mc4 connector.
Thank you for the response
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by munchies: 10:01am On Mar 18, 2025
Good morning. I need assistance to connect this as I'm trying to connect it myself.
The circled part, should I cut off the mc4 connectors and join it with the solar cable?
Thank you.

Bro, do a traditional solar setup or Ecoflow. But if you still wanna go ahead, no problem. Just tell me what a 200watts will let you run during the day time when you can be flexing the sun energy?

Experience is always the best teacher sha.
Is ecoflow not same thing like the qasa. It's for charging phones and torch
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by munchies: 10:43pm On Mar 12, 2025
JoeSef0:
I'm sure there's a reason manufacturer recommend a single 150-200w panel
Same thing I thought but I'm being told 2 solar panels units can work on it that's why I came here seeking assistance
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by munchies:
Is it suitable to connect 2 units of 200w solar panels to this solar generator? Will it be too much or should 1 unit be connected only to charge the battery?

No more new questions but recycled.
Your ans is still within few pages behind.
It is more about on panel connections, battery superiority. I need something direct to enable me make purchases as soon as possible. Thanks.

Please I need a recommendation on the best system to install in my house.
Daytime loads will be only the freezer which is less than 200w

Night time is about 10 energy saving bulbs which won't be on at same time, TV is 50w, 1 laptop which won't be on all the time, about 5 phones for charging,
Please what inverter, battery capacity can I use?
What number of panels and watt will be suitable for charging with sun?

Valto and other gurus please help out.
Please help me out

Get 60kw of PV and 120kwh of batteries. Then you are good to go.
Please can you break this down in lay terms for better understanding ? I know someone that want inverter to power ice block machine . Is lithium the best to use?

No. MSc or not, SOWP applications never needed letter of attestation. Only Study permit applications needed it
Thank you for your swift response.

Because a friend is saying her agent is asking the husband needs to pay a certain fee to be able to get him a letter that will get him a work permit as a dependant to the wife who is going for masters degree soon.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by munchies: 6:25am On Feb 06, 2024
Please I want to ask.
If a spouse is going for masters in Canada, is the husband required to get attestation letters from province for a spousal work permit?

Please I need answers.
Thank you

Please I have a question
If an inverter does not have charging profile to charge lithium what other option is there to charge if there is no solar panel?

Someone is saying profile for AGM can still work to charge Lithium

The wealth of knowledge on this thread is awesome.
Which Indian inverter support lithium battery charging
Thank you

Valto:
okay.
u still need an 8kw inverter. since u will run 2 AC during the day.
like 18pcs of 535w jinko/Canadian solar panels
yes that is the ideal battery bank for u. i sell it too.
Thank you . If I was going to use only 1 AC on the system what capacity is good

Wow 18 panels
I'll be in touch

Similar to my home appliances expect mine is 3 ACs. Do find my system spec in my signature
Thanks for your response. I take it that you run an off grid system
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by munchies: 8:48am On Jun 27, 2023
Valto:
rough qoute wink, since u didn't provide the actual load consumption and run time

8kw deye inverter
2pcs 48v 230ah 11776kwh lifepo4 lithium battery
9kw of panels
Thank you for your response.
ACs will be used during the day when there is enough sun light
1 AC can be used at night for not more than 3 hours and won't run everyday.
When you say 9kw of panels, how many panels and the capacity, I don't have full knowledge of this
Do you mean I will get 2 units of 48v 230ah lifepo4 battery
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by munchies: 2:08pm On Jun 26, 2023

Hello guys. Lovely job you all are doing from discussions to advise being dished out.
I need advice though.

I want installing solar to power a 3bedroom bungalow.

1 double door fridge
3 TVs ( all won't be on at same time)
Sound system
Energy saving bulbs.

How many KVA inveter will power this and what capacity of lithium battery and how many 350w of solar panels will be suitable?

Thanks in anticipation.
